When is MRVC's annual meeting and has anyone considered attending to raise some hell with management?

I see there are a lot of new folks beginning to chime in with the disgust and dismay with this company. I too have been in an investor for about two years and currently have very nearly a wash for my two years of patience. Each quarter I keep telling myself, this will be the one only to end up with some management faux pas be it timing, poor PR, or not thinking the press statements thru only to get punished again. What is the point here? How long do I stay with " dead money "and what do I think the stock will go to? Even if we double by the end of the year, my gain then will only be about the market average for the last couple of years. Will it do that? I don't think so. This is beginning to look like a very savvy management group when it comes to innovation in their business arena, but obviously inept at parleying this ability into a sustainable increase in the value of the company. This is different than profits. Why would we expect the same crew that seriously miscalculated the inventory impact be expected to put on a road show with any better finesse? Yes, the profits are great quarter after quarter, but so to are the management PR foul ups quarter after quarter continuing to depress the stock price. Why not acknowledge this and get some professional help? Techies can't be good in all venues. I'm about to vote with Greg2o and peacelover. To many things are just not making sense here. Bill

I have called the company 2 times now and although I never got in touch with anyone in IR when I called I was transfered to their voice mail, left a message and received a return call within hours.I have always been pleased with MRVC'S quick response to my calls.When you call ask for ext. 242 if no answer ask for ext. 336, if still no answer when the gal gets back on the line ask to be transfered to Danny's voicemail. Good Luck, Mike
